SHPS 10 Tips for Investigation
1. When entering a room, get a baseline reading of EMF, temperature, barometric pressure, and ambient light and noise levels.
2. Once you have a baseline, SIT and BE QUIET. It’s hard to hear and see subtleties when you are moving and talking.
3. Be aware of your surroundings at all times and pay attention to subtle changes in ambient light, noise, and temperature.
4. Be aware of furniture placement when entering a room and avoid obstacles on floor, walls and hanging from ceiling.
5. If you must speak, DO NOT WHISPER- speak in a normal voice. EVP’s can be contaminated with whispering and are easily confused with entity communication.
6. Log any “incidents” such as shadow movement, personal feelings, battery drain, disembodied voices, EMF or temperature fluctuations with the correct time. If you can, always wear a watch. If you are recording audio, mention it on the audio with the time.
7. No smoking at any location while on investigation. Photos can capture smoke that may be misidentified as mists, fogs, or apparitions. If you must smoke, please retreat to the perimeter of the property- DO NOT go alone. Make sure someone knows where you are at all times.
8. When taking pictures, hold your breath. Breath in photos may also appear as mists or fogs. Beware stray hairs, camera straps, jacket strings, spider webs and dust. Condensation and smudges on the lens may also contaminate your photos.
9. When working with IR or ambient thermometers, be aware that some colors and textured surfaces may hold residual heat and dissipate different according to the wavelength of light they reflect.
10. Never automatically discount a personal experience. Remember, experiences in tandem with physical anomaly can be significant.
